Die Geschichte der modernen tschechischen Populärmusik vor dem Jahr 1989 umfasst eine Vielzahl von vermischten Stilrichtungen. Aus der Sicht der gemeinschaftlichen Bedeutung gehören zu den wichtigsten von ihnen zweifellos die Bereiche der Folkmusik, Countrymusik und Wanderlieder. Obwohl viele bedeutende Ereignisse, die mit den Konstitutionen dieses Musikbereiches verbunden sind, sich in Prag abspielten, entwickelten sich seit den Sechzigerjahren erfolgreich insbesondere lokale Kreis- und Bezirksszenen. Nicht einmal die Olmützer Szene war eine Ausnahme, in der während der Sechziger und Achtziger Jahre eine Menge von bemerkenswerten Solisten und Gruppen...

The Gradual of Česká Skalice, dating back to 1567, is a significant hand-written record kept in the Museum of Božena Němcová, which situated in Česká Skalice. This codex, which is written in Czech and is of a regional character, may be listed among all the other Czech sources. By analyzing it we may contribute to the recognition of the repertoire of utraquistic sources. However, the Gradual of Česká Skalice does not belong to such prestigious codices as the Gradual of Strahov, the Gradual of Chrudim, dating back to 1570, Franus' Hymnbook. The Gradual of Česká Skalice is merely a paper codex the decoration of which is very humble.When reviewing...

Jaroslav Křička (27 August 1882 - 23 January 1969) was one of the renowned Czech composers who were attached to musical traditionalism. Apart from his profession as a composer, Křička also successfully followed career as a conductor, choirmaster, organiser, pedagogue, and publicist.

Křička also created a brand-new genre with his works for children.Although native of Moravia, Křička spent most of his creative life in Prague. He was always in touch with many semi-professional and professional musicians for whom he gratuitously composed occasional musical pieces. In the old...

Friedrich Blum became director of the Olomouc Theater in 1847, and the events of the revolution of 1848 strengthened his position there during the entire decade of the 1850s. Blum was able to integrate the theater into the community life of the town, and to profit by directing the theaters in Olomouc and Krakow simultaneously. He also took advantage of contacts in Lvov [Lemberg] and Karlovy Vary [Carlsbad]. Despite the rigid absolutism closely connected to the political realities of the time, Blum led artistic efforts with tolerance and vigor. But since these artistic accomplishments did not gain appreciation by specialists, and Blum was not able,...

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 13, (2011):81-92 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2011.005  

The study deals with the tower masters in Litovel (Moravia) in their last period of activity, i. e. 19th century. The tower musicians were acting there from about 1566. They were associated, like in other towns, in artisan corporations. The main person, paid by municipal authorities, was the tower master, who employed a journeyman and some helpers (guards), and also educated some apprentices. During the 19th century, three musicians worked, one after another, as the tower masters. From the end of the 18th century to 1811, it was Franz Josef Schiebel, then, from 1811 to 1841, Ignaz Bartl (1777-?), and finally, from 1841 to 1866, Josef Jiránek (1800-1885).From...

Musicologica Olomucensia vol. 13, (2011):93-106 | DOI: 10.5507/mo.2011.006  

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980), ein bedeutender Schriftsteller und existenzialisch-orientierter Phänomenologe, hatte eine enge Beziehung zur Kunst und hatte sich sehr oft über künstlerische Fragen geäußert. Seine philosophischen Erstlingswerke über die Bedeutung des emotionellen Erlebens oder über die Funktionen des Bewusstseins bei Vorstellungsgestaltung sind für Musik relevant, und zwar sowohl dank ihren direkten Hinweisen auf Musik als auch mit Ansichten, die das Hauptwerk Sein und Nichtsein (1943) antizipieren und zur zentralen philosophischen Konzeption Sartres gehören. Meine Studie behandelt das Wesen und die Verwandlungen der Anschauung Sartres...
